 RH>> And, he sounds like he appreciates his upbringing, tho, like most
 RH>> kids, probably wasn't as appreciative as he was going thru it. Our
 RH>> girls have let us know how much they appreciate how we raised them,
 RH>> especially after they became parents.
 NB>> Pretty much so... he hasn't had any kids yet, though... we'll see if
 NB>> that makes any difference...  ;)

 RH> I don't think you've got anything to worry about. Having your own kids
 RH> helps you understand what your parents went thru raising you. I used
 RH> to tell Steve's mom "Now I know what you went thru, raising Steve"
 RH> because Deborah is so much like her dad. (G)
 
Having helped raise (some) of my siblings, I had an idea already... and
the main aha moment was realizing that since I WAS the mommy, I couldn't
pass the kid off back to his mommy when I'd had enough...  (G)  And
figuring out why Mommy always made us take naps... so that she could get
one...  ;)

 RH>> We've usually kept celebrations low key, not sure what we'll do
 RH>> this year. Visit grandkids maybe?
 NB>> Ours have always been low-key generally... at most, going out to
 NB>> eat somewhere a little special... For our 25th, we met up with two
 NB>> other couples from our church that also had their 25th that year,
 NB>> within a month of ours, and went down to Charlotte Beach, rode the
 NB>> carousel, walked the beach, and then ate supper at Schaller's.  No
 NB>> big parties, no cruises or other trips... ;)  And so far, no
 NB>> grandkids to visit... you've got a lead on us there...  ;)

 RH> We didn't do anything big for our 25 as it was just 10 days after
 RH> Steve had the one major bleed out after his jaw surgery. He did
 RH> surprise me with the ruby & diamond ring tho. We usually just go out to
 RH> dinner but went to Kauai for a few days before one anniversary while we
 RH> were stationed on Oahu. Came back and went to (for the first, but not
 RH> last time) an Austrian/German restaurant in Honolulu.

That sounds like a nice trip...   :)
 
 RH>> They were available when we walked in, and offered again after
 RH>> practice.
 NB>> So no inclination at the beginning, from just having had supper,
 NB>> and no inclination at the end of practice from having had the
 NB>> leftover donuts from the move...  ;)

 RH> Actually, we'd just had lunch. Had practice Saturday afternoons for
 RH> the Christmas special music, but yes, we declined KK doughnuts.

Ah, forgot the timeframe... :)   But in any case, the KK had no appeal
for you then..  :)

ttyl       neb

... Bacon improves almost everything except maybe maple glazed doughnuts
